Libellula quadrimaculata (Four-Spotted Chaser)

My absolutely favourite scientific name; 10 syllables, no less, which just seems to roll off the tongue rhythmically.

Another Chaser but no pruinosity in this one. What a striking looking creature this is. Males and females are very similar, though and tricky to separate, for me anyway, though not for them, it seems. The shape of the anal appendages appears to be the best guide.
